Sometimes I painted out of doors, favoro.l by the soft, pray light find equable climate for which this place in famous. Sometimes 1 would work in the studio, and often, taking pity on my loneliness, Treno weth would drop in hero in the even ings, and we would talk as he alone can make any one talk. Altogether it was very pleasant, ami I am not sure that I felt pleased vhen one evening he strolled down here to show me s letter he had received from one of onr fraternity asking to hire a stadin foi three months in order to complete t picture. "Tho handwriting wm bold ana clear ; the signature at the end of the simple, concise words only, AL Dela porte.' We discoursed ami speculated about M, Delaporte. We wondered if he was old or votings, agreeable oi the reverse ; If he would be a bore, oi a nuisance in fact, we talked a great deal about him during the week that intervened between his letter and hii arrival. Trenoweth saw to the arrangements of the studio. It was No. 2 he had agreed to let, and gave directions as to trains, etc., and then left mo to welcome the newcomer, who was to arrive by the evening train. I had been out all day, nnd when I came home, tired, cold and hungry, I saw lights in No. 2, and thought to my self, 'My fellow artist has orrlved, then.' Thinking it would bo only civil to go and give him weloome, I walked np to tho door and knocked. A voico called out, 'Come in !' and, turning tho handle, I found myself in tho presence of a woman I For a moment I was too surprised to speak. She was mounted on a short step laddor, arranging some velvet draperies, and at my entrance she turned, and, with the rich-hued etnffs forming a background for the pose of the most beautiful figure woman coald boast of, faced me with as much ease ind composure as well, as I lacked. " 'Mr. Trenoweth?' she asked in gniringly. "Her voice was one of those low, rich contralto voices, so rare and sc beautiful. "I'm not Mr. Trenoweth, I said; I'm only an artist living in the nest studio. I I case to see if Air. Dela porte hod arrived ; I beg your pardor tor intruding.' " 'Do not apologize, 'she said, frank Jy. 'This studio is let to me and you are very welcome.' " To you T I said, somewhat fool tahly. 'I thought yon were a man.' "She laughed. 'I have not thai privilege,' she said. 'But I am an artist, and art takes no count of sex. I hope we shall be friends as well ai neighbors. "I echoed that wish heartily enough Who would not in that place and with o charming a companion? There and then I set to work to help hor arrange her studio and fix her easel. The pic- turo seemed very large, to judge from tne canvas, but sne would not let m see it then. I forgot fatigue, hunger, everything. I thought I had nevei j of manner. The ease and grace and dignity of perfect breeding, yet withal a frank and gracious cordiality thai wms as winning as it was resistless. But, there what use to say all this ! Only when I once begin to talk about Musette Delaporte I feel I could go on forever. "That was a memorable evening When the studio was arranged to hex satisfaction, she made mo somo tea with a little spirit-lamp arrangement ths had, and then we locked Tip the room, and I took her through the lit tle villaare to try and find lodgings.

At lout he roused himself. "There ii not much more to add," he said slowly. "All that Dennis has said of JIusettt Delaporte is trae, and more than true.

In the full light ol the sunset aa it streamed through the window, stood the easel, covered ne longer, and, facing me, as I paused or the threshold, was the picture.

There was nothing crnde, or weak or feminine about it. Tht power and force of genius spoke out like a living voice, and seemed to de mand the homage it so grandly chal lenged. Suddenly I became awaro ol a sound in tho stillness the low, sti lled sobbing of a woman.

I noticed now the crowds surged and pushed and thronged around one picture there, and I heard murmurs of praise and wonder from cores of lips as I, too, tried to get sight of what seemed . to them so marvelous and attractive. At last a break in the throng favored me. I looked over the heads of some dozen people in front of the picture, and I saw the picture I had gazed at in such wonder and delight in the studio of Musette Delaporte i Deservedly honored, it hung there on the line, ind already its praises were sounding, ind the severest critics as well as the most eager enthusiasts were giving it tame. "I turned away at last. My stepi ere, however, arrested on the out skirts of the crowd by sight of a woman whose figure seemed strangely famil iar.

Ever since our Government has been building np Its great white navy, thou sands of, visitors have beaeixed the men-of-war whenever an anchorage In fort has afforded the opportunity. OA ten and men have been plied with luestlonsconcernlng everything aboard the ship, from the pennant that luttera it her truck to the mysteries of her doa ble bottom. And at last, when the brooch block has been clattered back In to place, the visitor in ntne cases out of ten will ask & question that has been perplexing him ever since he laid eyes on the gun. "How do you obtain that deep bronze jolor on the outside of these guns?" The quesUoner is well aware that the fan Ls of steel, and he notices that the bronae color stops abruptly just over the enrve of the breech. He has felt the glossy brown surface, with Its dark er lines, like the grain of polished ma hogany, and has probably given It a surreptitlons little scratch with his nail without being any the wiser. Then Jack proceeds to tell the process by which tbe gnns on our fighting craft are kept cleaner and glossier than those of any navy in the world. When a rifle comes from the arson, it Is coated with grease to prevent rust ing during transit, and this coating is kept on until the hnge steel structure .ss wn II ft oxl Into Its caniaea. Tbe grease ls then removed by carefully washing the gun In a strong solution of commercial potash er lye. It ls washed .w..e wltli mi liquid and allow ta dry thoroughly. The gun is then like (listening silver tube. The next opera Uon, and one requiring more care, la the application of a mixture of sulphate f copper dissolved in sweet spirits of nitre. To an ounce of each Is added .1 pint of distilled water. Four coats of this are poured on and rubbed down hard and allowed to dry for twenty, fear hours. Under this treatment the silver tubs, s transformed Into one of a warm reddish-brown without gloss. By adding arsenic to the same solution, and apply ing again, the gun assumes a dnrker tone. Now comes the hsrdest part of Jack's work, the polishing-. Bplled oil Is mixed with beeswax and turpentine until a comparatively thick substance results. This ls laid on and polished Sown with cotton rags, at first and thn with the palm of the hand. The reult Is the mahogany-brown so much ad mired by Inquiring visitors.

The story of the soldier and the ex perience of the spy contain no greater records of the triumphs of physical and mental strain than does our dally press, laid E. J. Edwards In his address on Journalism. When Daniel Webster died Henry J. Raymond, then editor of the Times, shut himself In his private office, giving orders that he should not be disturbed until tbe work he had In ha-ad was finished. He proposed to write a life of Webster, and he wrote steadily for more than fifteen hours a masterly, comprehensive, and, for a newspaper, an exhaustive sketch and study of the departed statesman. That exploit was for many years regarded as one of the greatest personal achieve ment of Journalism. It was always re ferred to when the endurance of the newspaper man was the theme. But It was conspicuous because It was one of the first It ls so frequently matched nowadays that the achievement excites no especial Interest In newspaper of fices. Take, for Instance, the report of the hanging of Gulteau, which appear ed in one of the papers. The editor had Instructed his Washington correspond ent upon three points only one, that It was desired thnt the correspondent should write the whole account himself, so that It could be consecutive, sym pathetic and free from the raggednesi which Is Inevitable when two or three men are engaged in preparing a lepgthy ( report Xext the editor wanted It put . upon the wire sheet by sheet; last of all, he was anxious to have It complete . In the home office by 10 o'clock at night Mr. Raymond's achievement did not pompare either with endurance or swift nesa of work with what this corre spondent must do if he were to meet the requests of his managing editor. The Jail where Gulteau was to bt hanged was three miles from the tele. , graph office. The execution was to be done between the hours of 12 and 1. Certainly a half hour would elapse af ter the drop fell before the body was de livered to the surgeons, and after thai there would be the ride back to the correspondent's ofllce. At the earliest moment possible the correspondent could not see how he could begin his work before 3 o'clock, and between that time and 10 he was expected to write about 15,000 words, send It at white hent c-vor the wires, and have it com plete In the newspaper ofllce In New York. It would have beea a physical Impossibility to have written that re port under those conditions. There fore, the correspondent employed three stenographers. Instructing them to mark their copy "A," "B" and "C." A ; little after 3 he began work with them. First, be dictated to stenographer A for some twenty minutes; then, leaving the stenographer to write out his notes, the correspondent went to stenographer B, dictating to birp twenty minutes, and then to C.

The Pompons Man. It was daring the holiday season and ae was a very pompons man. As he walked through the finest and most ex pensive store in town his air and man ner seemed to say that he owned it but he didn't, as everybody knew. At length he fonnd himself In the hosiery department, and brave, indeed, was the display there. "Give me half a dozen pairs of those,' he said, pointing to a snperb pair of silk stockings embroidered in a pattern as Intricate as a Florentine mosaic. The little clerk raised her voice timid ry: "Excuse me. sir, bat I don't think yon want half a dozen pairs of these; they are The pompous Individual lnterupted her with a crushing look. "Don't presume to dictate to me. I said half a dozen pairs.' - The clerk was silent She carefully arranged six dainty boxes, each with Its exquisite and elaborate contents, and then made out the bill painstak ingly. The pompous man drew forth bis fat pocketbook an j waited with a look of smooth condescension on bis snug face. "A hundred and eighty dollars, sir," said the clerk, quietly. The man gasped. The stockings were ihe finest in the market They retailed it exactly $30 per pairl New York Ad vertiser.

He was shown through the class-rooms and laborator ies, but could not be prevailed upon to evince any enthusiasm. "It grieves me to see these young women here," he said, "for I know that their home lives must have been very unhappy; other wise they would not be here.". At last he was taken to the gymnasium. "Ah! this ls better," he said, as be exam ined the light machines. This gives them good figures and Improves their carriage. It Increases their chances." When the girls heard of this remark they ' were Indignant and rang the changes on It and Wellesley girls of that day have never forgiven the En glish statesman for his poor opinion of Wellesley girls' "clamces."

Among, ths foot hUls of the Camberian Mountains, nsar ths town of Flat Bock, ii tke happy botns of James XePsrron. Foul months ago Cis daughter of the family, 1 happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with St. Titus' dance. Ths leading physicians wen consulted, but without avalL She grew pal and thin under the terrible merrous strata and was fast losing her mental powers. In faot the thought of planing bar in an asylum was seriously considered. Her case has been so widely taked abont that the report of be cure was like modernizing: a mlraclo of old. To a reporter who Tisited the home thr mother said: "Tes, the reports of my daughter's sioknea. and cure are true as yon hear them. Her af fliction grew Into St Titus' dsnoe from an as?raTatsd form of weakness and nervous trouMe peculiar to her sex. Every source of help was followed to the end, bnt it seemed that physicians and medicine were power less. Day by day she grew worse until we despaired of hor life. At times she almost went into convulsions. She got so that w had to watfc her to keep her from wander ing awny, and you con imagine the care sh was. "About this time, when our misery was rreatost and all hope hal fled, I read of another case, almost similar, that had been cured by a medicine known as Dr. Willinms' Pink Pifls. Almost in desperation I securej some of the pills uml from that day on the wonderful work of Restoration cotainnoe-l; the nnrvoninieas left, hor cheeks gruw bright with the color of he iltli, she f?aiml flesh aud grew strong; both mentally and physically until to-dity she'is the very picture of good beultb nnd happiness. "It is no wonder that I speak in glowina; terms of Pink Pilis to every airing person 1 meet. They saved my daughter's lilo and I am Kratof uL" Tha foregoing ls but one of mnny wonder ful cur that have been credited to Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. In many caww tho reported cures have been invest! pitted by the lending- newxpupers and veri fied in every possible manner. Their fam has spread to tbe far ends of civilization and there is hardly a drug store in this country or abroad whore they eapnot be found.
